Thats sounds like one hell of an idea!!!! Sure there'll be some good suggestions!

Thats the kind of saw bench i want!! But trying to find a blade that big seems impossible these days! Some more pics please!

I thought £350 odd for a replacement rad for the 200hp engine on our slurry pumps was a rip off, but incomparison to yours it was cheap!

I know this feeling all to often!!! Its complete nonsense really, who do they actually think is actually going to buy that bolt for £22??? We had a valve chest on our loading shovel split wide open, off the machine dealer £5230+vat, from hydraulic supermarket £2430+vat.........apparently its because the exact valve gets shipped halfway around the world from the uk back to the uk again same as you had everybody putting their bit on. Thats why you buy british i guess if possible.......

Brother in law's got a woodmizer, not sure of the model, but he'd definately describe it as moody...... i've heard the expression "like a woman with bad PMT" mentioned around it on occasion. But as he says, there ain't a lot of choice when you compare £ for £ as the market is sort of limited in the UK. Guess he wouldn't do an awful lot with it compared to some people.

I think your pushing the definition of the term tree "surgery" with this video!

only one person makes money on fuel, and thats the bloke with the rights to the land they pump it from under!!! and the tax man i guess!

will look good with a chip box conversion!

Well thought i'd give you the next funny turn of events, he turned up monday morning expecting to work. Walked in workshop complaining that his phone had been ringing all night with dodgy people wanting things (i'll leave the rest to your imagination). I suggested that must be annoying having people ring you at all times of the night, at which point he turns purple in the face. I gave all the other lads their to do list, and when he was left standing on his own he just said 'well i guess you found and out and i'm guessing I no longer get any work from you?' to which the reply was 'very perceptive, perhaps you should have used that before you started the prank calls' to which he replied ' you can't just sack me, how am i going to pay for the tractor?' reply ' oh well not my problem lad!' At which point he jumped in his fendt and drove out like he had a firebomb up his arse, recieved a letter this morning from some solicitor, stating it was unfair dismissal........ i think he forgot to tell them he was a self-employed owner driver.

well done!

you must have the patience of a saint, i think that would be a wise conversation to have!!!

or just do your class 'E' and tow a bigger trailer!

wait for it, I'm sure they're lurking waiting to pronounce their allegiance......... couldn't agree with your more, a landy is a good farm hack, nothing else will fit its function!!!

i can see where your all coming from and can't deny it was another route i have taken, perhaps it was a better one in your eyes. But I'm sure you all know there's some people out there who won't ever admit they're wrong even in the face to face reasoning about the facts. He's one, he's had plenty of warning before about his large scale vocal cords, there's only way he's going to work out right from wrong and that's when he loses everything from under him. That's starts by being the butt of ur own prank and the slow realisation that you've just blown the money pot to your nice new fendt tractor. That's going to hurt a whole lot more than me trying to reason with a dipstick over some prank that's not so funny in the real world. I didn't get to where I've worked to now without some serious face to face discussions, but when they fail you have to take a more laid back approach and let trip themselves up. Its a strange situation, perhaps some more background would have made it clearer on my choices but ultimately its about the dipstick who can't keep his mouth closed.

well that thought did cross my mind as i was doing it, but then if your stupid enough to play a prank like that on your boss and then broadcast it across the airwaves and think he won't find out I'm betting on there not been enough brain cells to work out who did it. Cuz he rang again three times last night............... in the space of an hour He might be loosing his i-phone somewhere he'd rather something that big wasn't put, and i'm sure a size 13 steel toe cap will work it in there just fine and dandy!

seeing as only me and the wife know its been happening then there ain't any other way he'd know about it. Exactly why we haven't told anyone else for this reason!!! He's 22, ought to know better at his age. And as for ringing him in middle of night, i think the dubious websites google found and his number is now splashed across will provide many many many more late night phone calls than i could ever bother ringing him up for!!! Your right, revenge is best served chilled!

After an 'episode' i had today i thought this might be interesting thread....... Been having prank phone calls for last few weeks, middle of the night jobs, phone rings and no one there, number withheld, ring four or five times in a row kinda thing. Run large business from phone, can't turn it off incase of an emergency callout or problem on the farm with cows or owt, don't wanna change number as it wouldn't be difficult to find new number out and carry on. Turns out to be a subby of mine, who does quite alot of driving for us with his tractor when were busy......... just brought himself a brand new 200hp fendt for this up coming season. Thinks he's a funny boy, likes to tell everyone everything on the CB's in the tractors, found out as i walked past one of my tractors in the yard with the door open and heard him bragging how he was the one ringing me and i was never gonna find out cuz i was too dumb to know how......... wonder how funny he'll find it when i don't ring him with anymore work this year. He ought to know better as his big mouth on this open to anyone to hear CB radio system has earned him a kicking for telling everyone he was sleeping with a local farmers young daughter when he wasn't. Rant over, blood has stopped boiling now!

ur not wrong there!!!

I like it. clean simple and easy to use, but i'd agree with steve the contact me bit needs to be last on the list. Perhaps also a few pics of you actually working a piece to be able to put a face to the work helps bring the life to piece for people. Good luck:thumbup:

The farm workhorse did that in feb too......... and its a landrover!!!

Can't say fairer than that!

an engineer at uni had one of these in his collection of tractors, he lets a few of us have a drive one day........pants of steel is all i can say. Imagine driving ur mog or fast trac flat out with a series one driving style......

no expert but i'd turn it into firewood and plant a larger sized new one!

PM Nick Channer he's prob best place to start!

I don't want one!! Just couldn't think why you would ever want one, but guess Big J's is one reason though not sure i'd wanna be on the axe after him with that setup!!
